Dalaman
A Place of Natural and Historical Beauties
|
Dalaman is an area of natural beauty. It is located between the sea and mountains and benefits from its proximity to many areas of interest both historical and geographic interest (e.g. Dalyan mud baths, ancient tombs etc). Dalaman is rapidly becoming an area of destination rather than just a stop over on the way to some other resort town. Recent investments to Airport, road ways and the continuous development of the area is making it more accessible. Over - development and exploitation of the area is stopped by the protection afforded to the rare loggerhead turtles that frequent the river and beach. This should ensure that Dalaman continues to develop in harmony with its surrounding environment and retain its natural beauty. |

Dalaman is now rapidly becoming an investment area for many Europeans purchasing property for investment in Turkey. This seems due to many factors including the town being designated a main touristic area from now on: plans for new marinas and a golf course are underway. Dalaman town itself has many shops, restaurants, bars and tea gardens and is growing quickly due to the investment in the area. Dalaman has its own huge natural beach, although not overly commercial 'yet' it is still pleasant and hosts lots of wildlife. |

The town is ideally situated for lots of resort areas but perfect if you prefer a quieter place to base yourself. There is also a tunnel underway to connect the town of Gocek and Dalaman, reducing the journey to only 5 or 10 minutes drive. If you are in the area, make sure you visit the Dalyan (Köycegiz). You enjoy the Kaunos archaeologist site and see the carved tombs in the Limestone mountain while cruising along the Dalyan River when you reach the shore, walk on Iztuzu Beach. The area is world's 6th most famous beach; it is 6 km long and enjoys the sea turtles (caretta-carrettas). The beach is a sanctuary for sea turtles. |
